We hired Franchettis' to cater our wedding and they really went above and beyond! We did their mozzarella bar and pizza party service and it was delicious. The event staff were extremely friendly… and helpful - many, many guests came away with nice things to say about the bartenders.And an extra special shout out to Gesine - who was really ontop of everything when it came to planning and walked us through everything decision we had to make with experience and courtesy. She could not be more friendly, accommodating, or professional. I would recommend Franchettis' to absolutely anyone!more »

I had lunch with a friend at Franchetti’s on Tuesday 26 April.As others have commented, this is a nice space for dining with a large number of tables well dispersed. There is some outside sea…ting as well. You order at the register and the food is delivered to your table. There are help-yourself carafes of ice water and glasses on a side table. The big screen TV, showing sports, is located in a corner, so it is fairly easy to avoid the din of this drivel.I ordered the Italian Sando - prosciutto and 3 other salamis, olive salad, mozzarella + parmesan $10.25 served with a large helping of house made chips – potatoes cut thin in a waffle pattern. I am not sure what “olive salad” is but there was lettuce on my sandwich. I also do not recall the “mozzarella + parmesan,” but there was a tasty layering of assorted salamis.Service was fine – it does not take much to carry a food order to a table displaying a number.I will return to Franchetti’s and perhaps try one of their wood fired pizzas.more »

Franchetti's prepared a sumptuous meal for family and friends celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. The atmosphere was casual and 'family style' keeping was the theme of the even…ing.

This restaurant is definitely a bit difficult to find. It is in a business park that includes a health care clinic. Those of us who work in the area defiantly know this place. If you are in Santa Rosa…, and want a casual place to dine on great food, this place is for you. All of their salads are fresh, delicious, and have generous portions. I usually get the half tri-tip sandwich with a side salad. I've had the kale salad, the Caesar salad, and the chopped salad - all were scrumptious! The "half" sandwich is much bigger than what one would consider to be a half sandwich. They also make fresh lemonade. When you arrive, keep an eye out for their desserts, which are also freshly made. The Nona's tart is spectacular. It consists of a ricotta-lemon filling enveloped with a tasty and flaky crust. Their strawberry rhubarb pie had the perfect pairing of fruit to crust. It was not too sweet, so the taste of the fruit really shined.Franchettis' also has wines by the glass and various non-alcoholic beverages. They serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.more »

Well, after eating here twice today, it seems that a review is in order! I have eaten here before, when it was a part of the Rosso restaurants. And I have found their food, and their wonderful staff t…o still be amazing.Went for lunch today with a friend, and had the Chopped Salad ($7.50 for small, $10.25 for large); had the small with roasted chicken breast for $2.25 extra. It was fabulous! The chicken was tender and delicious; the salad had crisp romaine, kale, avacado, toasted walnuts, feta, and a honey tabasco dressing made in-house. What a glorious mix of flavors! I had mine with out the feta, but I think it would add the perfect tangy edge to the tasty dressing that has a kick to it. The small size with chicken was perfect for a light lunch.Returning solo for dinner to use a gift certificate that was about to retire, I ordered the Chettis Spicy Chicken. It is perfectly brined chicken (thigh,leg and a bit of breast) prepared with a Clabrian chili paste and salsa verde. Comes with roasted potatoes or salad, and I had the chopped salad (again!) for $14.95. The chicken was moist, tender with a crispy and spicy skin. It had just enough heat to get my attention, but not burn my mouth to the point of losing taste. Quite possibly the best chicken I have had in a long time. I found it to be substantial but not too much; a very hungry person would need to order something more. As much as I liked it though, $14.95 seems a bit high - would order on a special occasion only. But glad I got to try it. It truly was amazing.What I love about this place is everyone who works there. From the counter where you place your order, to the people who bring your food, everyone is so friendly, fun, approachable. There is absolutely no pressure as you stand and look at the menu boards, unable to decide what to get because you want everything!! They are patient and eager to give more information about the food if you need it. Even as a solo diner, they were attentive to me, helpful, wrapped up leftovers, etc. D (Danielle) was super friendly and described their new addition to the menu - fruit/veggie smoothies for $6, for 16 ounces.I love the restaurant itself: it almost looks and feels a bit industrial - 3 walls are entirely glass, so you can always look outside, and high ceilings. Tables and chairs are comfy, and spaced far enough apart to create a spacious feeling. There is a bar area, and outside seating. You can also play ping pong there, and I love that while there is a large TV, the sound is off. Very easy to hear other people dining with you. It would be easy to have a group event here.The bathrooms are spotless and have lots of photos of friends and dogs, very tastefully decorated. Easy access inside and in the bathrooms if you are wheelchair bound.Overall, the food here is super high quality and creative as well. Prices are moderate for most items, a bit high for the Chettis Spicy Chicken, but worth it. This place is truly a gem that should be visited often.more »

This space has been several nice wine country restaurants. I had my first visit to Franchettis' yesterday. You order at the counter, take a number back to your table and your food is brought to y…ou. Great selection of local foods. They advertise themselves as wood fire kitchen, so of course they have pizza and lots of grilled items. I had the cauliflower mac n' cheese and it was wonderful, a perfect blend of all. .We also split a salad which was chocked full of fresh local items, greens, fruit, beets, goat cheese, nuts ect... Very fresh clean healthy tasting. You can sit inside or out. Eat in or take away. I wish them good luck in this space, they were a little pricy but worth it.more »

For our first meal there, it was fantastic! We got there at 515 on a Friday night and it was packed by 6pm...a real tesitment to your amazing food and friendly atmosphere. We ordered a bunch of things… to share, the brussells sprouts were delish and the cauliflower mac and cheese was to die for. We saved room to share a piece of Pineapple Pie for dessert. It was awesome.more »

Franchetttis' Kitchen is one of these restaurants in Sonoma County, that is a hidden gem. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant is very clean. And the atmosphere is playful, with a ping pong… table and a putt putt golf, area. I am part of a group that goes every Friday for coffee and we all enjoy our time here. The food is excellent! Their soups are amazing, and their is always something new on the menu. I have only good things to say about this hidden gem. I suggest if you are on this side of Santa Rosa, stop in. And ask "what's good today?" If you want something light, or out of the ordinary, the staff will be more than happy to help.more »

Possibly the best food everytime without fail. No other place in my opinion nails it consistently from taste, service and atmosphere. Why can't there be a Franchettis' in every city? Keep sh…aring the love.more »

We had a special team building event for our staff and their families last night. The restaurant is usually closed on Sunday evenings but you can reserve it for events. We felt special having the enti…re restaurant to ourselves and be involved in the process of creating delicious Mozzarella, Burrata and pizza!The kids played ping pong and games, the adults chatted and relaxed while we were treated to an evening of culinary history and the importance of the supporting our local food suppliers. Best of all, we learned to make our own pizza and how to cook it in the pizza oven. Once out of the oven, we dressed it and boxed it to take home.I felt like a kid again, a big smile on my face, enjoying a wonderful event with the people I work with day in and day out. BTW, while writing this, I am enjoying a piece of my personally prepared pizza and a some burrata on fresh foccacia bread. It is just as good the next day.John, Gesine and their entire team made this a MEMORABLE event. I would highly recommend booking any type of team building or family event on a Sunday evening.more »
